About Mill Bay

Mill Bay lies on Stronsay's northern shore, reached by ferry from Kirkwall then single-track roads across the island. This small coastal settlement sits among Orkney's outer islands, where farming and fishing communities dot the windswept landscape. The journey involves a 90-minute ferry crossing with your car, followed by a short drive through agricultural countryside. Ancient fish-curing station ruins still mark the shoreline from the herring boom days.
